Brazilian Rosewood

BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD

Dalbergia nigra, the queen of Rosewoods and one of the most sought after woods by luthiers and craftsmen around the world. It is a wood native to the Atlantic coast of Brazil, also known as Bahia Rosewood because of the Brazilian region where it usually grows. Its exceptional sound qualities and beauty have captivated for decades the best builders and brands, who have used Brazilian Rosewood in their most exclusive models. Its brown color ranges from a beautiful light tone to a practically black tone, with beautiful dark streaks here and there, depending on the piece.

Due to its scarcity and the global effort to protect the species, it is a wood that is available in small quantities, always with all the legal guarantees.  In Maderas Barber you can find unique pieces under our brand MB Exclusive as well as headstocks, classical and acoustic bridges and fingerboards in the three most common lengths: Classical, Acoustic and Electric. Be part of the select group of luthiers who use Brazilian Rosewood in their guitars with some of our pieces.
